Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
A potential new treatment for male infertility is being tested by researchers at the University of Georgia (UGA) Emory University School of Medicine and the University of Pittsburgh. They will…
Researchers at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) have discovered a protein that causes blood stem cells to renew at twelve times the rate in vitro. The discovery could…
Researchers at Columbia University Irving Medical Center have successfully grown fully functional lungs in mouse embryos using transplanted stem cells. Many types of lung diseases are progressive and ultimately prove…
CRISPR-Cas9 is a promising gene editing tool that makes it far easier for scientists to make edits to the genome. Rather than using more established gene editing techniques that require…

A team of researchers in Australia have successfully used CRISPR-Cas9 to prevent the expression of a gene that drives cervical cancer. The researchers’ technique was shown to be effective at…
A paper published in Nature that suggested babies born following treatment with CRISPR would have shorter lifespans has been retracted by the authors due to ‘technical errors’ made during analysis…
A new method of delivering CRISPR has been developed that allows scientists to deliver the gene editing tool into microorganisms and potentially develop highly personalized treatments for a wide range…
Scientists may have succeeded not only in slowing the sands of time, but actually reversing the aging process. In a yearlong trial, participants lost an average of 2.5 years from…
A team of biomedical engineers and dentists have created a new hydrogel that promotes the regeneration and repair of bone defects without the side effects associated with techniques currently being…
